Naming & Organization
Make sure you follow Plex naming requirements. Plex is very picky with TV show naming and structure.
Example: /TVCurrent/The Blacklist/Season 01/The Blacklist - s01e01.ext.
- The TV library must point to TVCurrent.
- Use “The Blacklist” as listed at TheTVDB.com, not “Blacklist, The”
- Do not add the year unless it is in the name at TheTVDB.com.
- Use a season folder.
See TV Show Files (Naming & Organizing) for additional details.
Trouble caused by TheTVDB
TheTVDB is making a lot of changes on their end, which results in matching problems on our end. If something does not match, try a Fix Match with the TV series ID as listed at TheTVDB (266189 for The Blacklist). Leave the year blank. It should match straight away.
See this post for additional details.
New TV Show agent under development
As mentioned in the post linked above, Plex is working on a new TV show agent. You can test a pre-release version if desired. Details: New Plex Media Server TV show/series scanner and agent preview
